Update 8-8-2023

 

I caught the queens of this species I ever have this year around 6-17-2023, up in the Santa Ana mountains near Ortega Highway. They are all in test tubes and doing really well so far.

Update 11-20-2023

 

I hadn't posted any update on this journal for years, even though I had been documenting everything, so I just made the last five update posts all today, in case anyone is confused.

 

The colony is still around 4000 workers or so in size. It looks like it's about six and a half years old now, so it's one of my oldest colonies.

 

 

 

 

The amaranth chamber still with lots of amaranth. 

 

 

 

You can see the queen here.

 

 

 

My Desert Hairy scorpion died recently, so as always, it became ant food. 

 

 

 

Foraging container still continuing to fill up with seed husks.
